Today’s Story
The Morrison
girls’ weekend adventure continues when (after a few bumps in the road) they
finally make it to
How about
you…
What comes to your mind
when you think of the word “purity”?
Cleanliness, abstinence, innocence, a gold ring? Those can certainly all be a part of it,
but what does the word ultimately mean?
Check this
out…
Of course, the word has to
do with a lot more than just our bodies and how we behave with members of the
opposite sex. Purity also refers to
our minds and hearts. And it means
perfection. It’s closely connected
with the idea of holiness. As you
maybe have heard, there’s only one person who has ever walked the earth to live
a perfect life—Jesus Christ.
Because of Him, we can achieve purity. How? Well, take a look at this verse from the
first chapter of the book of Colossians:
22”yet
He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present
you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach.”
See, it’s all Jesus. It’s not because of anything we have
done that we can be called pure.
Why does Jesus do this?
Well, back-up a few verses in the same chapter, and look at
this:
18”He is
also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from
the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in
everything.”
It’s the Heavenly
Father’s good pleasure to make Jesus first in everything. Will you give Him first place in your
heart, and receive His purity for yourself today?
